Attah Igala Made Fuoye’s Chancellor by Olabodedennis(m): 8:55am On May 01, 2017 |
The Federal University at Oye Ekiti (FUOYE) at the weekend held its maiden convocation ceremony where the Attah Igala, HRH Michael Idakwo, Ameh Oboni II, was installed its Chancellor. Five hundred and four students for the 2014/2015 and 2016/2016 sessions got certificates their first degrees. Ten of the graduates made First Class honours. The university conferred honorary doctorate degrees on four personalities, including 100-year- old former Headn Teacher of Ekiti Parapo College at Ido-Ekiti, Prince Adepoju Akomolafe; 92-year-old former Head Teacher of Queen’s College in Lagos, Mrs. Efunjoke Coker; 89-year-old former Head Teacher of Aramoko District Commercial Secondary School at Aramoko-Ekiti, Chief Francis Daramola and an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) expert, Dr Babatope Agbeyo. Only Daramola was present to be decorated among the honourees; the rest were represented. The university set up an Endowment Fund for capital projects, such as roads, lecture theatres, lecture rooms, faculty buildings, sports centres, laboratories, hostels, utility vehicles to facilitate learning and research. The endowment fund is shopping for N30 billion to be raised over five years to execute the projects. The Attah promised to live up to expectation and justify the confidence reposed in him by the Visitor, President Muhammadu Buhari. The monarch, who is also the President of Kogi State Council of Traditional Rulers, urged the Federal Government to inject more funds into universities to compete favourably with their peers around the world. The Vice Chancellor, Prof Kayode Soremekun, expressed satisfaction that FUOYE had grown since it admitted the first set of students in 2012. He said the university, which had three faculties and 29 programmes at inception, now has seven faculties and 49 programmes. Soremekun said the university had improved on the Webometric ranking and the National Universities Commission (NUC) ranking, which rated it as the first among the newly-created federal universities and 14th best in Nigeria.
